I only have a problem the moment so-called artists and critics give...

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t vote for the subject of Beauty when “The PP Executive” was choosing this month’s topic. Though after putting together all of our pieces, I’m glad it’s where we went. This issue is short yet sweet and all about art; in life, as life, in passion and in bed.
